When I arrived for my visit, mom was talking with the dietian, planning her meals for tomorrow. She was dressed, the catheter has been removed and said she had been up in a wheelchair to get weighed earlier. When I asked, she said that the pain was severe earlier when she was being weighed and she wasn't sure if she had been given any pain meds prior to activity. She called her nurse and we discussed her level of pain and discussed receiving medication every 4 hours as needed instead of every 6. I shared with nurse Cynthia that it is our understanding that she would be given medication in conjunction with therapy and mentioned that mom is hesitant about asking for relief when she needs it. It was emphasized that she has to ask for medication when she needs it. I'm heading out this evening for Thanksgiving in Louisville on the farm, thanks Maggie for the invite, but I really would like to get home. Val will be down tomorrow and Tara & Adam will also be visiting.
Happy Turkey Day y'all
